When you pick up your copy of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine on September 6, don't expect to be able to play co-operatively with a bud just yet. Space Marine is confirmed to have co-op play, however, the mode will be added within thirty days--"give or take"--after its launch in order to add some extra "polish" to the "co-op aspect." More information on Space Marine's co-operative element, including what it actually contains, will be revealed soon, says THQ.
This all came from a forum post (cached version here) from THQ's community manager, which has since been taken down. The reason could be due to the post hinting that Space Marine will use the dreaded online pass system, with the post stating, "everyone who purchases Space Marine at retail (brand new) will get co-op for free. If you buy the game one year from now the co-op option will still be free as long as the game is sealed brand new from retail."
THQ has yet to respond on the post being pulled or if Space Marine will indeed utilize online passes.
